what can be used instead of canola oil in baking?

Answer 1

Extra-light-olive oil. healthy and doesn't taste like olive oil. I use it any time I would normally use Crisco. I use Bertolli brand.
P.S. Read the back of the 3 kinds of Bertolli olive oils and it tells you what they are best use in/how. I use all 3.

Answer 2

As others answered, any light oil--- soy etc. For things like pizza crust etc you can use olive, but remember it has its own flavor and is pretty heavy for other things.
Just wanted to suggest: please watch the documentary "THE FUTURE OF FOOD"
It is about genetically altered foods-- especially corn, soy, and canola. You'll probably want to try to eat only organically grown, no-GMO oils and food which contain these.
Also, ALWAYS avoid cottonseed oil. It is not grown as a food crop, so is sprayed with horrible things banned from food. Since the oil is a "by-product" they can get around the regulations (lax as they are for food, even!)
Know you didn't ask all that--- but I hope it helps!
Good luck---Be healthy!

Answer 3

Saflower or corn are both good but do impart their own flavors just ast Olive does. Your choice. I would taste each oil and be sure that was the flavor I wanted in the recipe.

Answer 4

I use plain apple sauce instead of oil. Only use flavored apple sauce if the flavoring will enhance what you are baking.
It adds moisture without adding fat.

(I make a chocolate chocolate chip cake using apple sauce and nobody can tell.)

Answer 5

I use Coconut Oil & Grapeseed Oil. Both have almost no flavor. Neither will cause an imbalance of your omegas.
